We generally think Ed Tech
refers to these!
Can Ed Tech mean
something else?
“Ed”? “Tech”?
Tech “refers to the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools,
machines, techniques, crafts, systems, and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a preexisting solution to a problem, achieve a goal,
handle an applied input/output relation or perform a specific function”

“a form of learning in which the
knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next
through teaching, training, or research”
Ed
“Ed Tech”! Notebooks, Textbooks, Overhead Projectors
Lab Experiments, Field Trips
Blackboard, Chalk, Duster
Curriculum, Syllabus
Examination, Results, Ranking
Rote Learning, Memorizing
NCERT, CCE, RTE, SSA
Common Entrance Tests
Education Boards (CBSE / ICSE) Montessori System, Bloom’s Taxonomy
Gagne’s Conditions Of Learning
Tuition Centers, Tutorials
Skill Training Centers, Certifications

Going by Wiki Definition
of Ed & Tech
Aren’t these Ed Tech
too?
“Ed + Tech” As we see today…
a form of learning in which the
knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are
blogged, shared, transferred, viewed, collaborated, experienced, played, liked, tagged, commented, organized,
searched, uploaded, downloaded, automated or blocked
from one generation to the next
through teaching, training, research
or simply through autodidacticism

Agents Of Change
Environmental Parameters Emerging Economies
Necessity Economic Crises
Knowledge Economy Technological Advancements
In The Past Gurukul – Ed Tech Of Our Ancestors?
CHANGED TO
Current School System
Did these cause Gurukul’s decline?
– Victorian Empire and the need for English-speaking clerical workers to manage their assets worldwide
– Industrial Revolution and the need for similar-skilled workers for factories and assembly lines
– World Wars and the need to train soldiers uniformly and quickly, and send them into the war
– Gurukul seen as Selective Education vs. Inclusive Education
– Academic Research on Educational Philosophy & Learner Psychology

• Learning Analytics / Big Data in Education
• Internet Of Things
Google made information discovery easier…
Who is going to make decision-making easier?
23 www.TheStateOfEdTech.com
Missing Pieces?
• What Ed Tech for Education Governance?
• Delivery vehicles like curriculum, syllabus, boards, tests with Ed Tech?
• A piece-meal approach? What governing frameworks needed? – What data MUST be captured and made available by Ed Tech providers?
– How should they share such data (protocols / frameworks / APIs)?
– Which tools address which learning objectives?
– How should content providers tag their content?
– Ed Tech true inter-operability?
• Techies designing Ed Tech – How well do they know Education?
• Ed Tech for Teacher Training on 21st Century skills?
• Can I use Chemistry content from Educomp and Physics from Pearsons?
• Digital Content Repository from Ed Tech vendors?
• Centralized Approval of Ed Tech products / services?
24 www.TheStateOfEdTech.com
Potential Options
• Achievements Standards Network project @ US uses RDF to put learning objectives in machine-readable format
• Learning Registry @ US
• “The Audrey Test” – What should every Techie Know About Education?
• Google Certified Teachers, Apple Certified Teachers
• Mozilla’s Teach The Web
• CommonWealth Education Trust’s Teacher Training MOOCs
• Minimum Inter-operability Criteria for Ed Tech?
